Delhi Court Dismisses Domestic Violence Complaint Citing Lack of Evidence
A Delhi court dismissed a woman's domestic violence complaint against her husband and in-laws, ruling that mere allegations are insufficient without evidence of abuse.

The husband's side denied the allegations, stating the dispute was settled previously.
